Friday at The Office Bar

Step into the Office for a night of House music, indie dance, disco and tech house mixed by Ayla Simone

The first record of cocktails being served at 3936 30th Street was the opening night of Club Belvedere, in 1948. Just a few years later, The 1956 San Diego edition of Polk’s Business Directory in shows the location as The Office. Fast-forward to 1983, George Scolari bought & personalized his new bar, calling it Scolari’s Office. Scolari's Office became a popular neighborhood bar and later a famous/infamous punk rock venue known all across the United States.

For the record, it was in June of 2008 that the major renovation was completed & Scolari’s Office became The Office once again.

The physical & cultural landscape of the 9-5 'daily grind' or 'rat race' has changed in just the last decade. With smart phones, laptop computers & WiFi- we’ve adopted ways to be productive anywhere, anytime. The typical office as portrayed in movies & television is not-so-typical anymore...thinking outside the cubicle is to be expected (The Office has free WiFi & places to power up).

We can all agree that we've imagined this scene: kicking our feet up in the boss's office, sitting in a leather throne behind a walnut desk, cocktail in hand (cue AMC's hit show Mad Men). The concept behind The Office Bar combines the comfort and personality of a classic cocktail lounge with the a twist: you're the boss!
